Hello Alex, it's a pleasure to meet such a handsome beautiful dog as you! You really are a very good looking dog--love your color and your smiling face. I enjoyed reading about you. It sounds as if you are a very good natured friendly dog. All your photos are great! I hope you have many more years with your family. Congrats on being DOTD!

Beautiful Alex!

Hi Alex! Happy Dog of the Day to you! What a gorgeous Golden guy you are, Alex, a shining example of all this is "golden" in your beloved breed! Goldens are cherished worldwide for their unwavering devotion to their families, their incredibly sweet and gentle, loving personalities; spooners, cuddlers, leaners...the ultimate Velcro pup! But, not all Goldens can lay claim to being crowned, "Mr. July!!!" (What a great shot that is of you, flanked by all of those flags!) Yes, you certainly are supermodel material, Alex, but your *star* shines most brightly as a loving companion to your people and your furry friends, including but not limited to...your dear mom and dad, cousin Wilson and girlfriend Josie, you skin sister and skin brother, Andrew, and pup pal Simon the JRT! Great thanks to your WONDERFUL family for providing the happiest of forever homes to so many deserving Goldens, and to "Good as Gold Rescue," for their dedication and commitment to making happy beginnings such as yours a reality! What joy you bring to the lives of all you meet, Alex, and how blessed your family is, having a beautiful, goofy, lovable best friend for life in you! You're a treasure...a golden one at that! Enjoy your much deserved day in the spotlight, sweetheart, being treated to all your big heart desires and more! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Alex!

Lovable Alex, you fill your people's hearts with joy! And mine today, too! What a great story of rescue and love! I smiled when I read that you are a calendar model, too What a terrific calendar that must be, through the year with Golden Retrievers! Please have your people give you some extra hugs and snuggles for me, most handsome Alex! Happy Dog of the Day to you!

Your admiring fan,
Elyse in LaGrange

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas
